Lyrics to Another Time, Another Place

Lyrics to the song Another Time, Another Place as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry)

I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips
So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough, I'm quite alone
Still, there's no sound
So I spin-a-disc around and round
And slide the needle in the groove

Drive down any highway baby
But don't bid me adieu
Through a sea of twisting by-ways
I'll be trailing you
Eternity'll solve our problem
Take it as you may
And destiny will stand corrected
Should we connect some day

Another time to spend another place to go
Another love to share with you

Deep emotion springs from this life
Wells up inside
Quick, pick me up and pour me over
The clouds crying by

Another time to spend another place to go
Another love this time it's true

Anyway you want me lover
Used to be your tune
I looked you up, you looked me over
My lucky strike won through
I was cut, dried and discarded
Just a rusty blade
But since I found my four leaf clover
I've seen the light again

All the tears in the world
Seem to fall from you
At their rainbow 's end
A halcyon day or two
How soon we fool ourselves
How slow we tread
Astral planes collide head on
And on and on we glide
As if forever

 

Another Time, Another Place
